Zombies!

Hillcrest Junior High is at risk! The school is not prepared against a zombie outbreak. When zombies rise, the hospital will be one of the first places to turn, and HJH is across the street from it. The school will just be an addition to the horde, unless the students are educated on how to take on the horde. HJH should have a Zombie Awareness Group (ZAG) held after school. ZAG will educate students and by doing this it will increase the chance of multiple people surviving; it would also lower the size of the horde. ZAG will also help the educated students not worry or risk their lives as much to save the uneducated students.
Educating students will increase the chance of multiple survivors when an outbreak happens. This is because students will know the smart things to do in an outbreak, the best way to fight a zombie horde, and how to create a base to survive with zombies wandering the streets. The students will learn in ZAG little tips to deal with them when they rise, like “ideal protection = tight clothes, short hair” or “keep moving keep low keep quit keep alert!” (Quotes from: The Zombie Survival Guide by Max Brooks) Students will also learn ways to deal with the horde like “blades don’t need reloading” or “use your head, cut off theirs”. Lastly, students will learn in ZAG how to hide from the horde in a home, or a school better so they will know basic things like to have an escape route if the zombies break in through their barricade.
When ZAG is created, it will make the horde incredibly smaller because more students would have the knowledge to combat the horde thus there will be less zombies for everyone else to deal with. ZAG will also teach students how to survive the horde, and if they are alive they are not a zombie adding to it. Lastly, ZAG might even stop a zombie outbreak before it gets too big. This can happen because the students will be able to notice the beginning signs of an outbreak and stop it where it starts.
Now, if kids that would attend ZAG put what they will learn to use, there would be a lot more students that know what they are doing and that can help try to save everyone else instead of they themselves needing to be saved and as it says in the zombie survival guide “organize before they rise” because “ignorance is the undead strongest ally, knowledge is there strongest enemy” Wouldn’t that be better than everyone being confused and needing saving?
ZAG will educate students so multiple people will survive and it will lower the size of the horde, lastly but not in the least it will help the educated students not have to risk their lives to save as much of the uneducated students. Join everyone that want ZAG up and running so the students at HJH will be prepared when the dead rise wanting human flesh, and who knows, we could just save the world.
